Changing device used to share location

If I change the device I’m sharing my location from, does it notify family members about this change?

Hello, dess713.


For family sharing questions, this article is very helpful: Share your location with your family. As far as what happens if you change the devices you share your location from, if you don't stop sharing on one and then start sharing on others, there should be no alert made. To change the device that you're sharing your location from, open Find My on that device. Select the Me tab, then choose Use this [device] as My Location.


Let us know if we can help with anything else at all or if this doesn't settle your issue. Thanks and have a fabulous day!
